Abstract: An apparatus for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a person includes: at least one glucose sensor that is arranged to measure the glucose concentration of the person, for example in the interstitial fluid or blood; a pump for selectively introducing at least one substance influencing the blood glucose levels into the body of the person, for instance by at least one cannula or catheter to be inserted into the body of said person, and a control for controlling said at least one substance influencing the blood glucose levels to be introduced to the person based on data received from said glucose sensor. Said apparatus includes at least one further sensor that is arranged to monitor a further characteristic of the person. The at least one further sensor may include an accelerometer, a heart rate sensor, a temperature sensor, a pH sensor, a ketone sensor, a GPS receiver, and/or a skin resistance sensor.

Abstract: A device for regulating the concentration of glucose in the blood of a diabetes patient includes a measuring component for measuring the concentration, a pump component for selectively introducing glucagon, or glucose instead, or insulin into the body of the patient, for instance by way of at least one hypodermic needle to be inserted into the body of the patient; and a control component which receives signals from the measuring component which are representative of the concentration and which control the pump component on the basis of at least one reference value for the concentration pre-entered into the control component and a program; wherein the device is embodied such that the measuring component and the pump component can be in substantially permanent contact with the bodily fluid or the blood of a patient.
